Re: How to convert date in SQL

["Nora Holland" <NORAH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To return a character field do this...

substr(char(FILEDATE),5,2) + '/' + substr(char(FILEDATE),7,2) + '/' +
substr(char(FILE),1,4)                        

If you would like the field to be a date you can use...

date(substr(char(FILEDATE),5,2) + '/' + substr(char(FILEDATE),7,2) +
'/' + substr(char(FILE),1,4))
